England captain Eoin Morgan told the BBC: “The 5-0 doesn’t hold huge significance. The opportunity to win a game against a good side is huge. We’re only a year away from the World Cup now and our preparations in different grounds around the country need to be good. Manchester [Old Trafford] presents a different challenge and different conditions so hopefully we adapt well again.”

Sunday’s final ODI clash at Old Trafford starts at 11am. England and Australia will also play a Twenty20 match at Edgbaston on 27 June.
